Mar 4:11-12 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

Mat 13:13-15 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. Mat 13:16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

Many are called but few are chosen, (Matt 20:16 & 22:14)

Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.

Who are the called to his purpose? Most of all what is His purpose they are called to? His purpose is His word. His word and His law are one and the same. The law is preserved in the Holy bible.

Matt 5:19 reads "they that teach the least of these commandments and do keep them shall be called GREAT in the Kingdom of Heaven, and they that teach men to break them and do break them shall be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven."

So we see there are rewards for keeping and teaching even "the least of His commandments"

Hbr 3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and

High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; Phl 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Rev 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in His throne.

Rev. 22:12 "And behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be." Rev. 22:14 "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city."

I John 3:22 "And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight." Isa 58:13-14 "If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of Yahweh, honorable; and shalt honor him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Then shalt thou delight thyself in Yahweh; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of Yahweh hath spoken it."

We know that Christ IS THE WORD John 1:14 Which includes all of the commandments we're to OBEY from Exodus 20 through Revelation. Christ said John 14:15 "If you LOVE ((ME/ALL THE WORD)) - Keep My Commandments"

Most Christians say we only have to Love. This is true, however, Christ said the definition of love is obedience to the commandments.

John 14:21 "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him."

1John 5:3 "For this is the love of THE LORD, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous."

It is also the way we know we love eachother,

1John 5:2 "By this we know that we love the children of THE LORD, when we love THE LORD, and keep his commandments."

Deu 30:16 In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

Living, Multiplying, owning and posessing land has to do with obedience to His commandments. It is for our bare survival upon the land.

Do not worry about calling everyone, not all are called. Just know the ones The Lord has sent you may be called and you should approach them as a Royal Priest who is in need of nothing,

1Pe 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
